不誠實(shí)的李洪志
為了給法輪功披上神秘的外衣，李洪志編造了虛假的經(jīng)歷，把自己打扮成神人、奇人。
李洪志1993年編造的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷，其中自稱8歲時(shí)修煉圓滿。實(shí)際上，李洪志8歲時(shí)正在長(zhǎng)春市珠江路小學(xué)讀書。
1994年9月24日，李洪志將出生日期由1952年7月7日改為1951年5月13日，因?yàn)檫@天恰好是農(nóng)歷四月初八，相傳為佛祖釋迦牟尼的生日。
李洪志說： “我對(duì)著空間一說形成什么，馬上就形成了。還可隨意造出任何東西，在空中一畫就會(huì)形成。”
李洪志還為自己編造了許多荒誕離奇的故事，藉以神化自己，蒙騙他人。其中一個(gè)故事說自己有隱身功能，他只要一想 “別人看不見我”，誰也就發(fā)現(xiàn)不了他。
當(dāng)年要求法輪功練習(xí)者花重金 “請(qǐng)回”、每日朝夕膜拜的 “法像”出籠于1992年，是將李洪志照片拼接上蓮花瓣剪紙，再畫上背后的 “佛光”拼湊制版而成。李洪志所穿的 “神袍”，是在商店里買的戲裝。
李洪志前頭說話后頭賴
李洪志滿口“真善忍”，慣于把自己裝扮成德行高潔的“圣人”。但他經(jīng)常對(duì)自己說過的話矢口抵賴，其反復(fù)無常的行徑，盡顯無賴本色。
“4.25”法輪功圍攻中南海事件發(fā)生時(shí)我不知道此事。
——知道又怎樣？我還嫌去的人少了呢！
李洪志親自策劃和組織了1999年的“4?25”圍攻中南海事件，之后卻聲稱當(dāng)時(shí)不知道此事的發(fā)生，“北京發(fā)生事的時(shí)候，我正在美國趕往澳洲的路上。”隨著他4月22日至24日確實(shí)在北京的事實(shí)被揭露，他又改口了：“關(guān)于學(xué)員去北京中南海反映情況一事，我當(dāng)時(shí)是去澳洲的路上在北京轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)，也根本不知道北京出了什么事就離開了?！?/p>
但是，連李洪志身邊的親信也揭露了他策劃和組織圍攻中南海事件的事實(shí)，使李洪志沒有了退路。于是他干脆挑明了：“一個(gè)普普通通的人要達(dá)到一個(gè)圓滿的境界，對(duì)你沒有真正的考驗(yàn)，那能算數(shù)嗎?一個(gè)人一個(gè)人去考驗(yàn)還不如來這么一下子。其實(shí)我覺得去的人太少了，才去一萬多人，零頭兒還不夠呢?”
地球要爆炸了！人類要?dú)缌耍?br> ——我沒說過這些話，只有邪教才說地球爆炸、人類毀滅。
李洪志在一次“講法”時(shí)說：“這個(gè)世界，炸得很空了。本來這個(gè)地球去年就應(yīng)該炸掉的! ”(李洪志講話錄音)他說：“我們這個(gè)地球不是這個(gè)宇宙中的惟一有生命的星球，地球也不只這一次。在這個(gè)地球這個(gè)位置上以前曾經(jīng)有過以前的地球。以前那個(gè)地球廢掉了，也有的是炸掉了?！?《法輪佛法——在瑞士法會(huì)上講法》，1999年5 月版，第75頁)
關(guān)于人類又要?dú)绲膯栴}，李洪志在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》一書中說：“有一次我仔細(xì)地查了一查，發(fā)現(xiàn)人類有81次完全處于毀滅狀態(tài)，只有少數(shù)人活了下來?！?《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》，1 994年12月版，第18頁)
“歷史上許多大覺者、先知都預(yù)言過人類在此日將有大劫之憂 。今天的人類比先知預(yù)言的還要惡劣?！薄叭祟惖赖录彼俚叵蛳禄呀?jīng)在危險(xiǎn)的邊緣了。”(《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》卷二，1995年11月版，第142、143頁)
“你回頭看一看人，今天的人類社會(huì)就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)很可怕!真的很可怕!你看現(xiàn)在這個(gè)人類真是十惡俱全”。 (《法輪佛法——在悉尼講法》，1997年3月版，第17頁)
我跟大家講，到了末法時(shí)期的人類社會(huì)，覺者們都撒手不管了，也不允許他們管了。不但人類社會(huì)都撒手不管，而且末劫中他們的處境也很困難，都顧不過自己來了?！艺f現(xiàn)在沒有人管了，我不是說聳人 聽聞的事。我告訴大家，這些事是千真萬確的。你拜佛也好，你拜各種宗教的像了，上面什么也沒有?！@是末劫了，到了這個(gè)時(shí)候就這樣?！?《法輪大法義解》，199 5年2月版，第74-75頁)
李洪志后來發(fā)現(xiàn)，“地球爆炸”說、“人類毀滅”論說得太多了，使法輪功的邪教組織特點(diǎn)過于明顯，于是他開始在一些小場(chǎng)合矢口否認(rèn)曾極力宣揚(yáng)的這些理論。他在法蘭克福的一個(gè)“法會(huì)”上說：“還有一些專門講什么世界末日的這種宗教，這都百分之百的是邪教?！薄?4?25”后，李洪志多次通過因特網(wǎng)散布說，他根本沒有說過地球要爆炸、人類要?dú)?，誰說他說過這些話，就是對(duì)他的誣陷。
我有無數(shù)法身，法力象佛一樣
我從來沒叫人把我當(dāng)神看，我從沒叫人稱我為大師。
實(shí)行教主崇拜是法輪功邪教組織的特征，也是李洪志對(duì)“法輪法”練習(xí)者進(jìn)行精神控制的重要手段，因此他始終把自己打扮成宇宙間最大的佛，還自稱能創(chuàng)造萬物生靈。李洪志說：“我今天做的這件事情，是要想把整個(gè)地球上的人類啊，物質(zhì)啊都做好，我都可以做。因?yàn)槠渌铩⒅参?、?dòng)物不需要它去認(rèn)識(shí)法，我直接就可以把它們做過去，直接就把它再造或者同化了。”(《法輪佛法——在北美首屆法會(huì)上講話》，1999年1月版，第47 頁)
“我講的是宇宙從上至下的一個(gè)最大的、能夠給宇宙的眾生、不同層次的神和人開創(chuàng)生命環(huán)境這樣一部大法?！?《法輪佛法——在歐洲法會(huì)上講話》，1999年1月版，第57頁)
相比之下，釋迦牟尼“確確實(shí)實(shí)沒有系統(tǒng)地把修煉的原理、宇宙的特性、人為什么會(huì)提高上去等等講出來。這就是為什么很高的神 (對(duì)我)講：你給人留下了一部上天的梯子——《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》。”“我有無數(shù)的法身，和我長(zhǎng)得一樣……，法力像佛一樣?！薄八麄儠?huì)看護(hù)你，保護(hù)你。”(《法輪佛法——在悉尼講法》，1997年3月版， 第15-16、70頁)
“你思想中想的是什么，在另外空間里我的法身什么都知道?！薄岸嗌偃宋叶寄芄埽祟愇叶寄芄?。”(《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》，1994年12月版，第71、82頁 )
“再講多了講高了人就不相信了。因?yàn)槿水吘故侨说乃枷?。我在這兒講，神聽了他相信，因?yàn)樗巧竦乃枷搿！?《法輪佛法——在美國講法》，1997年9月版， 第39頁)
“不得管傳播法輪大法的學(xué)員(弟子)叫做老師、大師等，大法的師父只有一個(gè)”。 (《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》，1994年12月版第123頁)
除了自吹，他對(duì)法輪功練習(xí)者還有硬性要求：“一切法輪弟子在傳法時(shí)，只能用‘李洪志師父講……’，或者是‘李洪志師父說……’”(《法輪佛法——大圓滿法 》，1997年3月版，第144頁)
而2000年5月2日，隨著李洪志及其法輪功的本質(zhì)被不斷揭露，李洪志在外國記者面前忽然 “謙虛”起來：“有人說我是神，有人說我是佛，有人管我叫大師，我封不住每個(gè)人的嘴， 可是我從來沒叫人把我當(dāng)作神看，也從來沒有叫人把我當(dāng)作什么大師。我坐在你們面前的就 是一個(gè)人像俱全的人，我就是一個(gè)普普通通的人?！?/p>
李洪志的一個(gè)重要特點(diǎn)，就是敢把荒誕離奇、愚昧無知的話說成是“宇宙真理”，能把前面剛說過的話轉(zhuǎn)眼就賴掉。
病就是“業(yè)力”，“消業(yè)”要靠練功，而吃藥是在積攢“業(yè)力”，最終不可救藥
——我沒說過有病不吃藥
“人為什么有病呢?造成他有病和所有不幸的根本的原因是業(yè)力，那個(gè)黑色物質(zhì)業(yè)力場(chǎng)?！?…它是導(dǎo)致人有病的根本原因，這是最主要的一種病的來源。”(《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》，1 999年12月版，第251頁)
“因?yàn)槌Ｈ松鐣?huì)就是這樣的，生老病死就是這個(gè)狀態(tài)，都是有因緣關(guān)系的，都是業(yè)力輪報(bào)， 你欠了債就得還?！?《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》，1994年12月版，第255頁)
“我們所說那個(gè)病的實(shí)質(zhì)是在另外的空間里的問題反映到這個(gè)空間來，如身體哪里長(zhǎng)東西了 、發(fā)炎了等等，產(chǎn)生了病毒和細(xì)菌。……我們看就是這東西，在另外空間里存在，人怎能根治呢?因?yàn)檫@層空間里你還突不破哪。……所以我們?cè)谛逕捊绮恢v病，不談病，都是業(yè)力， 就是這個(gè)問題。我剛才講了，實(shí)質(zhì)上那個(gè)病不能隨便動(dòng)的。”(《轉(zhuǎn)法輪法解》 ，1997年11月版，第68頁)
“煉功吃藥就是不相信煉功能治病，信你還吃什么藥，……真正修煉大法的人，身上帶的都不是常人的東西，常人得的病都不允許在你身上得，你的心如果擺正的話，相信煉功能煉好 ，把藥停了，不去管，不去治，就有人給你治了。……好多人身上有我的法身不斷地進(jìn)出， 忙忙活活的，就總在幫你做這些事?！?《中國法輪功》，1994年6月版，第114- 115頁)
但后來李洪志又不認(rèn)賬了。他在1999年7月22日《我的一點(diǎn)感想》一文中說：“有消息說我不叫人吃藥，事實(shí)上根本沒那回事。我只是講了一個(gè)修煉與吃藥的關(guān)系?！?/p>
Who is Li Hongzhi
Li Hongzhi has an old name Li Lai and an infant name Xiao Laizi. He was born on July 7, 1952, in Gongzhuling Town of Huaide County (now Gongzhuling City) in northeast China's Jilin Province.
From July 1960 to July 1966, he studied at Changchun Zhujiang Road Primary School.
From July 1966 to July 1969, he studied at Changchun No. 4 Secondary School.
From December 1970 to May 1978, he served as a trumpet player in a band of the Jilin Provincial Forestry Armed Police Corps.
In May 1978, he began to work as an attendant at a guesthouse run by the Jilin Provincial Forestry Armed Police Corps.
In April 1982, he began to work at Changchun Municipal Cereals and Oils Company and left the company in December 1993.
Dishonest Li Hongzhi
In order to guise and mystify Falun Gong, Li Hongzhi fabricated his life story, tricking up to be a god and supernatural man.
In his fabricated resume, Li Hongzhi boasted to have completed his cultivation at the age of eight. In fact, Li Hongzhi was studying at Changchun Zhujiang Road Primary School at the age of eight.
On September 24, 1994, Li changed his date of birth from July 7, 1952 to May 13, 1951, a day happened to be the eighth day of the fourth lunar month in the Chinese lunar calendar which is believed to be the birthday of Sakyamuni, founder of Buddhism.
Li Hongzhi said, "If I said towards to air that I want to be transformed into certain object, I can turn into it in a second. I can also create anything as I wish just by a single stroke in the air."
Li Hongzhi fabricated a lot of absurd and uncanny stories about him in an aim of deifying him and deceiving others. In one of the fabricated stories, he said that he had the function of making himself invisible, boasting that nobody could find him as he just thought about "nobody can see me".
The Buddha figures that the Falun Gong practitioners purchased with high price and worshiped day and night appeared in 1992. The so-called Buddha was a patchwork of Li Hongzhi's photo with paper-cuts in the shape of lotus flower and backed with drawn light beams. The cassock that Li Hongzhi wore was theatrical costume bought from a toggery.
A Man Who Often Goes back on His Words
Li Hongzhi frequently speaks of "truth, compassion and forbearance" and always pretend to be a noble and unsullied sage. Nevertheless, he often capriciously denies stoutly what he has said, which completely exposes the nature of a rascal.
I knew nothing about the April 25 Incident of besieging Zhongnanhai compound when it occurred.
--I knew, so what? I even think there should have been more people to go!
Li Hongzhi himself plotted and organized the April 25 Incident in 1999. However, he alleged later that he didn't know it at that time as saying, "I was on the way to Australia from the U.S. when it happened in Beijing."Then he withdrew his previous remark after he was proved to be in Beijing during April 22 to 24, "At the time my disciples went to appeal to Zhongnanhai, Beijing, I was at a stopover in Beijing on the way to Australia and left there without knowing anything about what happened."
However, even his favorites disclosed the fact that Li Hongzhi had plotted and organized the besiegement of Zhongnanhai compound, which left no leeway for him. So he said publicly, "If an ordinary person doesn't undergo real trials, how could he reach consummation? It's better to test so many people than to test one by one at a time. Actually I think the participants are too few, with only over ten thousand people, far from enough."
The earth will soon explode! The human race will be destroyed!
--I've never said such things. Only cults say the earth will explode and the human race will be destroyed.
Li Hongzhi once preached, "This world is very empty due to explosion. Our planet should have been totally destroyed in an explosion last year."(record of Li Hongzhi's speech) "Our earth is not the only planet that has life in the universe and it doesn't exist for only once. At the same place of the earth there had been an earth in the past which was destroyed or exploded." (Falun Fofa -- Lecture in Sydney, May 1999)
About the destruction of the human race, he wrote in his book Zhuan Falun, "I once reviewed carefully and found that mankind has experienced 81 calamities in the past, and each time only a few people survived. "(Zhuan Falun, December 1994)
"There have been many oracles and prophets in history who predicted that human kind would suffer from serious disaster nowadays. Human race at present is more evil than expected... The morality of human kind is declining quickly to the edge of danger." (Zhuan Falun, Vol. II, November 1995)
"If you look back, human society today is very terrible! It's indeed full of all the ten sins." (Falun Fofa -- Lecture in Sydney, March 1997)
I want to tell everyone around you that the present time is near the point of extinction of the human race. The wise just stand aside, nor are they allowed to interfere. They not only don't interfere with the affairs of the human society, but they may not even take care of themselves in doomsday...I don't mean to exaggerate things to frighten you as to say that nobody is taking control. I want to tell all of you these things are absolutely true. No matter you worship Buddha or any statue of other religions, actually there in nothing on it... It's the point of extinction. It's like that when the time comes." (Interpretation of Falun Dafa, February 1995)
Later Li Hongzhi found that Falun Gong's cult features have become very obvious with too many words about "explosion of the earth" and "destruction of the human race", so he began to deny stoutly these theories he once advocated at his utmost. He said at a dharma conference in Frankfort, "There are some religions that talk about doomsday. All of them are 100 percent cults." He spread on the Internet after the April 25 Incident that he had never said the earth would explode and the human race would be destroyed and that it would be a defamation if any one said he had spoken such words.
I have countless dharma bodies and I have the same dharma power like that of a Buddha.
I have neither asked anyone to regard me as a god, nor told anyone to call me master.
Worshiping Li Hongzhi as a hierarch is a feature of the cult Falun Gong and also an important means for him to manipulate the Falun Gong practitioners, so he always counterfeits himself as the supreme Buddha in the universe and boasted that he could create everything. He once said, "What I am doing today is to deal with human kind and substances. I can create everything. Because other lives including plants and animals don't know dharma, I deal with them directly, that is, rebuilding and assimilating them directly." (Falun Fofa -- Lecture at the First Dharma Conference in Northern America, January 1999)
"What I teach is the biggest top-down Dafa in the universe that can create a living environment for everything in the universe including the spirits and human beings at various level." (Falun Fofa -- Lecture at the Dharma Conference in Europe, January 1999)
By contrast, Sakyamuni "actually hasn't explained systematically the doctrine of cultivation, the features of the universe and the reason that people promote their level. That's why the upper god told (me): you have left people a ladder to the heaven – Zhuan Falun...I have numerous dharma bodies who look the same as me ... with the same dharma power like that of a Buddha... They will look after you and protect you."(Falun Fofa -- Lecture in Sydney, March 1997)
"My dharma bodies in another space know all about what you are thinking... No matter how many people there are, I can take care of all of them, and I can take care of the entire mankind." (Zhuan Falun, December 1994)
"People will not believe if I say more or talk big because they have the thoughts of human kind after all. I speak here and a god believes what he hears because he has the thoughts of a god. " (Falun Fofa -- Lecture in America, September 1997)
"The disciples who disseminate Falun Dafa are not allowed to be called as teacher or master. I'm the only master of Dafa." (Zhuan Falun, December 1994)
Apart from blowing his own horn, he has also made compelling requests for Falun Gong practitioners, "All Falun disciples preaching Fa can only say like this, 'Master Li Hongzhi has said...'or 'Master Li Hongzhi has told us...'" (Falun Fofa – Big Consummation, March 1997)
However on May 2, 2000, with the exposure of the nature of Li Hongzhi and his Falun Gong, he suddenly became "modest" in front of foreign reporters as saying, "Some people call me a god, some Buddha, some master. I cannot close the mouth of every body, but I have neither told anyone to look me as a god nor a master. Now the one who sits in front of you is a real man. I am just an ordinary man."
One of Li Hongzhi's important features is that he dares to call his absurd and fatuous words as "universal truth" and often goes back on what he's just said.
Illness is "karma forces". To eliminate your karma, you must practice Gong. If you take medicine, "karma forces" will accumulate and you can't be saved at last.
--I've never said a patient shouldn't take medicine.
"Why do people fall ill? That illness and misfortune of people are caused by karma -- that black-matter karmic field ... that's the root cause of people's health problems. It's the chief source of them ... ( Zhuan Falun, December 1999)
"Because the normal society is as it is, and birth, age, illness and death, all have causes from the past and are karmic retribution. If you owe a debt you have to pay it off." ( Zhuan Falun, December 1994)
"What we call illness is problems in another space being inflected in this space, such as something grown in the body, inflammation, virus and bacteria... We know these things exist in another space, so how can they be cured radically since you cannot even break through this space? ... So in the world of cultivation we don't talk about illness. All we talk is karma forces. That's the point. I said just now that actually illness can't be treated at will." (Explaining Zhuan Falun, November 1997)
"If you take medicine while practicing Gong, that means you don't believe practicing Gong can cure illness. You won't take medicine if you believe... A person who is sincerely practicing Dafa has something uncommon in his body and doesn't have illness that common people may have. If you place your heart on the proper position, believing that your illness can be cured by practicing Gong, stop taking medicine and don't care for it, someone will heal it for you... A lot of people have my dharma bodies going in and out their body and helping them do such things." (Chinese Falun Gong, June, 1994)
However, Li Hongzhi didn't admit what he had said later. He wrote in "A few of My Opinions" on July 22, 1999, "It's said that I didn't allow them to take medicine. In fact, it's not true at all. I only talked about the relation between cultivation and medicine-taking."
